IBM’s new Virtual Collaboration for Lotus Sametime (VCS), or Sametime 3D, is a hosted service that provides virtual boardrooms, auditoriums or collaboration spaces with the ability to set up meetings via Sametime clients. Pricing for LotusLive Connections will start at $10. IBM offers a similar service called LotusLive Engage, which includes all the features of LotusLive Connections along with Web conferencing and application sharing.
LotusLive Connections includes file storage and sharing, activities management, online charts and business contact capabilities. Picciano said Lotus would offer a Notes plug-in so users can have micro-blogging as part of their Notes sidebar along with Sametime, telepresence and third-party applications such as Twitter. Lotus, which made its announcements during the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston, also showed new micro-blogging features for Lotus Connections 2.5, its on-premises version of the software. “We are putting social networking in the cloud,” said Bob Picciano, general manager of IBM Lotus Software. The company also said next week it will introduce LotusLive Connections, a hosted version of its social software, including instant messaging, file sharing and activities. IBM/Lotus Wednesday released a 3D virtual environment conferencing service complete with avatars and whiteboards as part of its Sametime line of real-time collaboration software.
